Many of our clients live an hour or more away in the Charlotte metro area. This usually leads people to ask, “Why should I drive to Shelby when I can go somewhere closer?” We understand the reason behind the inquiry and want to share a few reasons why we believe that you will find value in taking the time to make the drive.

Discover why homeowners and designers from across the Carolinas make the drive to Shelby. At Greenbrook Design, our showroom offers an inspiring collection of custom kitchens, baths, and living spaces you won’t find anywhere else. From exclusive cabinetry lines to fully styled vignettes, every detail is designed to spark ideas and help you visualize what’s possible for your home. Paired with our expert design team and the charm of Shelby’s local shops and restaurants, your trip becomes more than a visit—it’s an experience worth the drive.

Enhancing Experiences: A Dual Encounter

Our Showroom at Greenbrook Design is only 2 miles away from our Walker Woodworking manufacturing facility. You will have the opportunity to tour the manufacturing facility to see where your cabinets will be made while you’re in town.

Our 5,000-square-foot showroom in uptown Shelby has everything you need to complete your cabinetry. We offer options for cabinetry at various investment levels, ensuring you can stay within your budget without compromising quality. We offer over 100 different doors and finishes to choose from, along with thousands of hardware options, including popular brands such as Top Knobs, Amerock, Emtek, and Schwab, among others.

What our clients have to say:

“After researching six custom cabinetry providers in and around Charlotte, NC, we chose Greenbrook Design and Walker Woodworking for all of the cabinetry needs for our house renovation. We were thoroughly impressed with the Walker’s professionalism, design assistance, wood quality, variety of door styles and accessories, physical plant organization and cleanliness, and their unbeatable prices.”

The drive time is not that much different.

If you have ever tried to drive anywhere in Charlotte or any other large city, you understand the frustration of being stuck in slow to almost standing still traffic, all to go a short distance! Here are just a few points to consider why a drive to Shelby is not so bad.

  • It’s no more time than driving to or from the Lake Norman area (and at least you are moving most of the time and not sitting still on 77!)
  • If you plan your trip after the morning rush hour and before the afternoon rush hour, it is less than an hour from the Myers Park area.
  • Our process is more efficient. Since we have all the products in the showroom and offer “live design”, we can accomplish a great deal with one trip to our showroom. Other showrooms that don’t provide real-time design can lead to multiple trips, and your project can drag out for weeks.

Many of our clients will tell us that they enjoyed the drive to Shelby because it was a nice break from the hustle and bustle of the big city. Plus, we have some of the world’s best BBQ at Red Bridges Barbecue Lodge, or maybe you prefer their rival Alston Bridges BBQ, yes, it is a local ‘battle of the BBQ.’ You can always find hidden treasures in a small town, so be sure to plan your trip with plenty of time to explore Uptown Shelby.  or maybe make plans to stay the weekend, we promise you will have a great experience, read here to learn more.

We offer a unique customer service.

To us, it is more than selling a product; it is about building a relationship with our clients. This is the foundation and philosophy upon which our company was built. Our clients matter to us and their specific needs are what drive us to create a design that is unique for their lifestyle. Our number one priority is to learn our clients, no one is the same and neither are their needs. Each client has something unique about them and that is what we want to cater to, to find that blend of styles that matches them. The experience we have gained over the years in home renovations, combined with our extensive knowledge of our products, is what sets our service apart. We understand what works and what doesn’t in a home, and we also know how to create a design that blends all your wants and needs into a perfect balance. Our clients always appreciate how we can take their ideas and bring them to life, that is our specialty and our calling.

Our products stand out from the rest.

There is a difference between going to Lowe’s and buying premade cabinets versus shopping with a company that can custom make your cabinets to suit your space and style. We also have the unique ability to use more than one cabinet line in your project, to help you stay within your budget. Our kitchen and bath designers excel at designing cabinets to meet your needs and your budget.

Meet our Design Team

“There are tons of cabinet options, most of which use particle board in some areas. We wanted solid wood and quality construction.  Greenbrook Design is where we came up with the layout and design features. We also visited the shop of Walker Woodworking, seeing the attention to detail and quality in production confirmed that we made the correct choice. Quality and design were very important to us!”
Homeowner – F. Potocnik

We strive to offer the very best products available, a product that we can proudly stand behind. This requires us to invest ourselves personally into the process. When you visit our showroom, we can showcase the numerous options available for your cabinet selections, as well as the various lines we carry.  With our ability to mix and match our custom cabinets with semi-custom cabinets, we fit any budget and any space. We now have outdoor cabinetry in addition to our other cabinet lines.

We are proud to serve twelve counties, including but not limited to Cleveland, Mecklenburg, Buncombe, Catawba, Henderson, Polk, Iredell, Gaston, Rowan, York, Spartanburg, and Greenville. Stop by our showroom and let us give you a tour; we guarantee you will not be disappointed. So take a drive to Shelby and visit us, we promise you a warm welcome and a refreshing beverage. We are committed to helping you see your dream become a reality and will be with you every step of the way.

What You Need To Know: Bathroom Trends for 2022

Design Notes

The bathroom is a critical part of the home; while we don’t gather for meals and conversation, it is the place we get ready for the day, and one of the last places we go before bed. This means that it should be designed to function in such a way that is beneficial to everyone who uses it. While a bathroom’s primary purpose is to be functional, that doesn’t mean it has to be boring. There are many ways to create a look that represents your unique style and personality, such as through tile and color choices. If you’re considering renovating your bathroom space and giving it some much-needed upgrades and updates, but are lacking inspiration, let us help you. There are several fun and beautiful bathroom trends for 2022. Let’s explore a few of them today.

Something Different: Adding Texture to your Home

Design Notes

There are many elements that make up a room, including color, layout, and decor style, but one key ingredient can add depth and tone to a space: texture. Like many design tools, texture often becomes an afterthought when creating a plan for a new area in the home. Many might even think it has little impact on a design, but that is not true. Texture provides balance, visual weight, and warmth to your home, which is why it should be a part of the planning stage from the start. Texture is not limited to fabrics and furniture, but can also include wallpaper, glass, and plants. Let’s discuss adding texture to your home and creating a space that is inviting to the touch for everyone.

Does It Matter: What is Color Psychology ?

Design Notes

There are some that have remained constant, while others have had their brief moment to shine, but does color really matter? Is there a reason behind the colors we choose, and can they really have an influence on the home? The answer is yes, color is one of the most powerful design tools, which is why designers are taught color psychology in school. To better help you understand its importance, we thought it would be helpful to share some of this information with you.

How To Select The: Best Window Treatments

Life, Styled

Window treatments are often the last element considered when decorating a house, but they play a crucial part in the overall look of the home. They are often considered the finishing touch to any space and can influence the feel as well. The fabric choice, the style, and even the function can bring several benefits to your home. Window treatments offer protection from the sun’s harmful UV rays, shading you and your furniture from fading, while also lowering your electricity bill. Selecting a fabric that complements your particular design style or creates a beautiful statement in your home can make all the difference in any room. Window treatments also serve a functional purpose, as they can block the sun’s glare and provide you and your family with privacy.
